If you’re in Apple ecosystem, you should try my app Anybox: https://anybox.app Anybox is a native bookmark manager available in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. The data are stored in the Apple’s CloudKit and no personal data is collected.

I am a happy Anybox user and previously used Pinboard and Raindrop. It syncs the bookmarks via iCloud.

If you want to save articles, you can try using Hamsterbase.

It doesn't collect any information and doesn't require login or registration.

It offers a self-deployed version and provides desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

It supports full-text search.

It supports annotating web pages.

There is an open-source and free browser plugin that allows real-time annotation in the browser: https://github.com/hamsterbase/hamsterbase-highlighter.

It's the most boring, but a text file with the urls and a title is probably your best option. Copy and paste to browser. Encrypt the file if you want extra security and use a good password/password manager. I understand it's not elegant UX/UI though.

a local html file. title In Firefox, about:config network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0

If you are doing text, this is the answer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

According to the linked page, Histre is for “supercharging Teams with AI”. What does that even mean and what does it have to do with bookmark management?

Thanks for checking it out. We’re solving knowledge management and collaboration in teams. At an individual level, bookmarks are an important input for knowledge. So we solve that. > “Supercharing teams with AI” What does that even mean We use gpt4 to summarize and auto organize knowledge: which could be from team chats, documentation, bookmarks, etc. This helps teams collaborate better without having to play Sherloc…

Honest question: how do along “strong privacy policy” with “we use GPT-4”?

My understanding is that anything you hit an OpenAI API with can and will be used as training material for future public models. Thus it’s not safe to use their APIs with any proprietary data.

Your service seems pretty cool, but I’m nervous about connecting a pipe from my corporate chat solution to OpenAI like that.

Thanks for the question!

No user data is automatically sent to gpt4. It’s strictly opt-in. Chat is sent to gpt4 only when the user specifically requests it.
